She says that word, a lot. That's why it popped out "accidentally."

Please tell me in what context, the N word is appropriate? Please.

Its about as appropriate as saying the F word. When directing it at a person with the intent to cause emotional harm, then its far less appropriate. But in the end its just a sound without the specific context.

This is insane. Of all of the taboos, all the actual racism around us every day, all of the horribly offensive things people call each other, why is this single word everyone’s hill to die on?

It all feels so superficial and performative.

And you are white, of course

I would bet you are white also! Only white women seem to care about this political correctness stuff so much

Can't hide behind "political correctness" complaints anymore MAGA. We know how far you will go.

Im not the same person you also called maga. Im also not maga, im not a partisan.

Just saying, 90% of the outrage comes from white women and its hilarious cause its just virtue signaling. Its ok, you don't have to be every group's savior.

Nope, I'm certain there is more than one of you. Don't worry we can tell in real life too who would "accidentally" let words slip

And what they are okay with in this country

It’s like the “let’s ban plastic straws!” solution to environmental degradation and pollution. No one (reasonable) is saying that plastic straws are good, we’re just saying they were chosen because it’s easy enough not to use them and one can therefore puff their chest and declare publicly how much they REALLY CARE while conveniently ignoring all of the much larger and more important considerations that might actually cause them some pain or suffering to truly address.

Oh, I publicly get my panties in a twist and grab my pitchfork over this single word, that means I have solved racism and don’t have to worry about things like zoning laws or inequities in public education, because addressing those things might mean I’d have to actually give something up and I don’t want to do that!

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.

What in the world is wrong with you people? F word is a curse word. N word is a racist slur. They are not the same.

Let me explain.

If i trip and fall and yell the F word, that context is very different then telling someone to go F themselves or they are an F'er. Agree? Context matters. Context is everything in language!

If you say a word and it accidentally is recorded, so freaking what? What was the intent there?

DP. Uh, no, not remotely the same. Context matters - but so does the word you use. If you have slurs in your vocabulary at all, that's very telling.

What do you think of rappers using the word comstantly?

Generally gross, but as a person who is not black it's not up to me.

There is a difference with "in-groups" and "out-groups" using slurs, especially as a form of taking power back. For example: women using the word "b***h" positively to their group of female friends ("my b****es"), and men using the term, when they have no personal experience having had that term used pejoratively against them. Virtually every woman HAS had that word used pejoratively against them.

OMG you just explained why context matters! Thank you I rest my case. A word has no meaning without context!

Right. Context matters. Non-black persons should not be using the n-word in their vocabulary. And non-women should not be using the b-word in their vocabulary.

Lol you've lost the argument

No it’s not. It’s pronounced nigh-jeer

That's not how they pronounce it in Niger.

In French, the country name Niger is pronounced "nee-ZHAIR" (roughly /ni.ʒɛʁ/ in IPA). This pronunciation differs significantly from the English, as the "g" makes a soft "zh" sound (like the 's' in "measure") and the "er" is pronounced like the French word for air.

So. F—king. What.

Black people use this word more than ANYONE. If it’s a banned word it should be banned for everyone.

She didn’t call anyone that. i.e. she didn’t intend to use it as a slur.

Again, your outrage is 100% performative.

You are talking like it's 2024

No one cares to debate this with you. It's out loud and proud with the white outrage these days, MAGA

We all can smell you. Why don't you boycott them?

What? This response is non-sensical. Please regroup and try again.
